Remarks: Patience is a virtue, indeed - after more than two-and-a-half hours since the last train through Ashland on the afternoon of June 19th, the silence was broken by a meet. ES40DC 5435 and AC4400CWs 427 and 497 were first on the scene, thundering past the station with a southbound loaded coal drag. Shortly after the lashup passed by, the northbound Carolinan passed on the other track, led by P42 142.
